Echo & the Bunnymen

Echo & the Bunnymen are an English post-punk band, formed in Liverpool in 1978. The original line-up consisted of vocalist Ian McCulloch, guitarist Will Sergeant and bass player Les Pattinson, supplemented by a drum machine.

How can you pretend?
When there's so much at stake
That it's a different world
And your hands don't shake

At the end of the room
And the foot of the bar
We were wrestlin' arms
And making our mark

Why do you defend?
The part you have to take
With your fingers on the world
Your hands don't shake

I was half [Incomprehensible]
You are [Incomprehensible]
I am always [Incomprehensible]
You are [Incomprehensible]

Back to the bar
I was feeling it
The hole in the floor
Was where I would sit, sit, sit

I was half [Incomprehensible]
You are [Incomprehensible]
I am kickin' in
You are [Incomprehensible]

Oh will you mention
My name to one?
Oh will you mention
My name to me?

I am [Incomprehensible]
You are [Incomprehensible]
I am kickin' in
You are [Incomprehensible]

How can you pretend
That there's so much at stake
When it's a different world
Your hands don't shake

Have to go, I go
You're the strangest taste
I am total love
I am total hate

Let's face facts
We won't mind
[Incomprehensible] of us
We will
